Indications for Use
CadAI-B Dx is a software application indicated to assist interpreting physicians in analyzing the breast ultrasound images of patients with soft tissue breast lesions suspicious for breast cancer who are being referred for further diagnostic ultrasound examination. Output of the device includes lesion indicators placed on breast ultrasound images assisting physicians to identify suspicious soft tissue breast lesions from given B-Mode ultrasound images and the risk analysis of malignancy. The risk analysis of malignancy indicates the malignancy score (CadAI-Score) and corresponding BI-RADS categories. In addition, CadAI-B Dx analyzes the size of the lesions and BI-RADS lexicon descriptors: shape, orientation, margin, echo pattern, and posterior features. CadAI-B Dx may also be used as an image viewer of digital ultrasound images. The software includes tools that allow users to adjust, measure and document images, and output into a structured report. Patient management decisions should not be made solely on the basis of analysis by CadAI-B Dx. Limitations: CadAI-B Dx is not to be used on sites of post-surgical excision, or images with Doppler, elastography, or other overlays present in them.
Device Story
CadAI-B Dx is a SaMD that provides CADe and CADx for breast ultrasound. It takes static B-Mode ultrasound images (DICOM/RGB) as input. Using AI/ML algorithms, it identifies and highlights suspicious soft tissue lesions, calculates a malignancy score (0-100), suggests BI-RADS categories, and extracts BI-RADS lexicon descriptors (shape, orientation, margin, echo pattern, posterior features). It also provides automated lesion size measurements. Used in clinical settings by interpreting physicians, the device acts as an image viewer with tools for adjustment, measurement, and structured reporting. Results are saved as DICOM Secondary Capture files to PACS. The AI output is gated via role-based access control. By providing objective lesion localization and malignancy risk analysis, the device assists physicians in diagnostic interpretation, potentially improving diagnostic accuracy, reducing false positives, and enhancing workflow efficiency. It is not intended for primary interpretation of mammography or use on mobile devices.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical validation used an MRMC study with 16 readers and 797 cases (447 benign, 350 malignant). Primary endpoint was AULROC. Reader-averaged AULROC improved from 0.766 (unaided) to 0.873 (aided) (p < 0.001). Sensitivity improved from 91.29% to 94.23% (p=0.015); specificity improved from 36.09% to 55.34% (p < 0.001). Standalone performance testing on 1,285 independent cases yielded an AULROC of 0.907 (95% CI: 0.890-0.924), sensitivity of 88.12%, and specificity of 77.11%.
Technological Characteristics
Software-only device operating on off-the-shelf hardware. Analyzes static B-Mode ultrasound images (DICOM/RGB). Employs AI/ML algorithms for lesion detection, classification, and quantification. Features include role-based access control for diagnostic outputs, DICOM Secondary Capture generation, and structured reporting. Complies with ISO 14971 for risk management.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients with soft tissue breast lesions suspicious for breast cancer referred for diagnostic ultrasound. Contraindicated for use on sites of post-surgical excision or images containing Doppler, elastography, or other overlays.

## 5. Description of the Device
CadAI-B Dx, developed by BeamWorks Inc., is a Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) designed to assist interpreting physicians by providing Computer-Assisted Detection (CADe) and Diagnosis (CADx) capabilities in breast ultrasound examinations. The software employs artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) algorithms trained on large databases comprising ultrasound images, along with associated metadata such as radiology and pathology reports.
After the clinical acquisition of ultrasound images is complete, the software analyzes the captured B-Mode images, identifies, and highlights suspicious areas of abnormality to assist the users in localization of breast lesions. This functionality directs the user's attention to potential lesions based on objective spatial correspondence criteria, ensuring that AI highlights are aligned with clinically validated detection standards. Simultaneously, the software provides automated measurements of the detected lesions (Longest and Shortest Diameters) and extracts standardized ACR BI-RADS lexicon descriptors (e.g., shape, orientation, margin, echo pattern, and posterior acoustic features) to support diagnostic consistency.
The software generates a quantitative malignancy score (CadAI-Score) on a scale of 0 to 100, which indicates the degree of clinical suspicion based on the lesion characteristics learned by the AI/ML algorithm. This score is calibrated to the American College of Radiology (ACR) BI-RADS system to provide a suggested BI-RADS category (CadAI-BIRADS). To ensure safe and appropriate use, the display of the malignancy score and BI-RADS category is gated via role-based access control; these diagnostic outputs are intended to be accessible only to authorized interpreting physicians qualified to perform diagnostic interpretation.
The analysis results provided by the software can be reviewed, modified, and saved by the physician based on their independent clinical judgment. If a user adjusts the lesion markings or descriptors, the system is designed to automatically recalculate the associated diagnostic values based on the updated inputs. The final analysis results can be converted into DICOM Secondary Capture files and saved to user-designated storage locations, such as a Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS), to support integrated clinical decision-making.

#### - Intended Use
The intended use of CadAI-B Dx is the same as that of the legally marketed predicate device, BU-CAD. Both are intended to be used by physicians interpreting radiological images, to help them with localizing and characterizing breast abnormalities. CadAI-B Dx and the predicate device are both intended to be used concurrently with the reading of images and are not intended as a replacement for the review of a physician or their clinical judgment.
#### ● Indications for Use
Both CadAI-B Dx and BU-CAD are software applications indicated to assist physicians in analyzing breast ultrasound images of patients who are being referred for diagnostic ultrasound examination. Both devices identify regions suspicious for breast cancer and provide computer analytics, including malignancy scores (CadAI-Score for CadAI-B Dx and SLC for BU-CAD) and corresponding BI-RADS categories. Furthermore, both devices automatically classify BI-RADS descriptors such as shape, orientation, margin, echo pattern, and posterior features.
#### ● Intended Use Population and Modality
CadAI-B Dx and BU-CAD share identical intended use populations and modality requirements. Both are intended to be used for assisting interpreting physicians in analyzing patients with soft tissue breast lesions using breast ultrasound data. While BU-CAD may also be used as a viewer for multi-modality images including mammography, both devices are strictly not intended for the primary interpretation of digital mammography images.
#### - Input
Both CadAI-B Dx and the predicate device, BU-CAD, are designed to perform AI-based analysis on a static B-Mode ultrasound image. CadAI-B Dx processes the B-Mode ultrasound images in DICOM and image (RGB) formats.

# Output
The outputs of CadAI-B Dx and BU-CAD are substantially equivalent. Both devices provide highlighted locations consisting of ROIs and lesion contours placed on suspicious soft tissue lesions. The output for both includes a region-based malignancy score, a BI-RADS category, and BI-RADS descriptors. Additionally, CadAI-B Dx provides lesion size analysis to further assist the physician's diagnostic process.
# Interface
Both CadAI-B Dx and BU-CAD are software-only devices that operate on off-the-shelf hardware. They are intended to be used as image viewers that include tools allowing users to adjust, measure, and document images, subsequently outputting the findings into structured reports or DICOM formats.
# Performance Testing
The clinical validation of CadAI-B Dx followed similar endpoints to those used for BU-CAD. Both devices were evaluated using a Multiple Reader Multiple Case (MRMC) study design with AUC_LROC as the primary metric. The CadAI-B Dx MRMC study evaluated a total of 797 cases (447 benign, 350 malignant) with 16 readers, while the BU-CAD MRMC study evaluated 628 cases with 16 readers. In standalone performance testing, CadAI-B Dx demonstrated robust diagnostic accuracy with an AUC evaluated over 1,285 cases from diverse geographic sources (US, Korea, and Kazakhstan), which is comparable to the 1,139 cases used for BU-CAD's standalone validation. These results demonstrate that CadAI-B Dx performs with substantial equivalence to the predicate device in improving or maintaining reader performance.
# Discussion of the Comparison to Support Substantial Equivalence (SE) Determination
CadAI-B Dx has the same intended use as the legally marketed predicate device, BU-CAD. They are intended to be used by physicians interpreting radiological images, to help them with localizing and characterizing breast abnormalities.
CadAI-B Dx analyzes a static B-Mode ultrasound image, making the analytical input functionally equivalent to the input image used by the predicate. The output of CadAI-B Dx is similar to that of the predicate device by providing ROIs and lesion contours placed on suspicious soft tissue lesions and region-based malignancy scores (CadAI-Score), while providing BI-RADS category and BI-RADS descriptors (Shape, Orientation, Margin, Echo Pattern, and Posterior Features) is also

consistent with the predicate.
CadAI-B Dx has an identical intended use, compared to the predicate device, that aims to localize and characterize suspicious soft tissue lesions in breast ultrasound image. Artificial intelligence algorithms of the subject device may have different technological characteristics from the predicate device. Therefore, a fully crossed multiple reader multiple case (MRMC) reader study was conducted.
Compared to BU-CAD as the primary predicate, and in consideration of the technological characteristics and test methods used in the clinical validation, CadAI-B Dx does not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness.
## 8. Clinical Performance Data
### 8.1. Summary of the Reader Study
The results of this clinical study demonstrate that CadAI-B Dx provides statistically significant improvements in localization-sensitive clinical effectiveness by assisting physicians in both the accurate classification of malignant lesions and the precise identification of lesion location during breast ultrasound interpretation. Notably, the observed reduction in false-positive interpretations, which addresses a well-recognized limitation of breast ultrasound, together with improved inter-reader agreement supporting diagnostic standardization and meaningful gains in reading efficiency, collectively suggest that CadAI-B Dx offers clinical value beyond improvements in performance metrics alone. These findings support the potential of CadAI-B Dx to function as an effective diagnostic aid that enhances clinical decision-making and improves workflow efficiency in real-world breast ultrasound practice.

### Primary Endpoint
Reader-averaged localization and diagnostic performance, measured by AULROC, was higher in the AI-aided reading condition compared with the unaided condition. The reader-averaged AULROC increased from 0.766 (95% CI: 0.725–0.808) in the unaided condition to 0.873 (95% CI: 0.847–0.900) in the AI-aided condition. The difference in reader-averaged AULROC between conditions was 0.107 (95% CI: 0.071–0.142), which was statistically significant (p < 0.001).

### Subgroup Analysis
Age, race, geographic data source, ultrasound system manufacturer, BI-RADS assessment category, and lesion- and acquisition-related characteristics were evaluated as subgroups using AULROC-based performance metrics. Except for a limited number of subgroups with insufficient sample sizes, AI-aided interpretation with CadAI-B Dx generally demonstrated improved diagnostic performance compared with unaided interpretation. These performance improvements were observed consistently across patient characteristics and technical conditions, supporting the robustness and generalizability of CadAI-B Dx.
## 9. Non-Clinical Performance Data
### 9.1. Summary of the Non-Clinical Bench Testing
The non-clinical bench performance testing provides comprehensive and objective evidence that CadAI-B Dx performs as intended for its labeled indications. The evaluation methodology was designed and conducted in accordance with applicable FDA guidance and relevant recognized standards. The test results demonstrate that the device meets all pre-specified performance acceptance criteria and support reasonable generalizability to the intended use population.
Based on the totality of the non-clinical bench performance evidence presented in this section, CadAI-B Dx is considered substantially equivalent to the predicate device (BU-CAD, K210670) and does not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness when used as a standalone computer-assisted detection and diagnosis tool for breast ultrasound imaging.
### Dataset Demographic

### Test Dataset Independence
The test dataset (N = 1,285) was strictly sequestered from algorithm development. No data from any patient in the test dataset were used for training, tuning, or internal validation, and no institution that contributed training or tuning data was included in the test dataset. Performance was therefore evaluated on an independent dataset.
### Reference ground truth
A multi-step expert consensus ground truth dataset was established by three independent, MQSA-certified breast imaging radiologists, each with over 10 years of dedicated clinical experience and including active members of the ACR BI-RADS Committee.

### Primary Performance Analysis
The standalone integrated lesion localization and diagnostic performance, measured by AULROC, met the pre-specified acceptance criterion derived from the predicate device. The observed AULROC was 0.907 (95% CI: 0.890–0.924), with the lower bound of the 95% confidence interval exceeding the performance goal of 0.7626.
Table. Standalone AULROC Performance
| Metric | Value | 95% CI |
| --- | --- | --- |
| AULROC | 0.907 | 0.890, 0.924 |
Note: AULROC: Area under the localization receiver operating characteristic curve
### Sensitivity, Specificity, Positive Predictive Value (PPV), and Negative Predictive Value (NPV)
Standalone diagnostic accuracy metrics were evaluated with a localization penalty to ensure clinical relevance. The system demonstrated a sensitivity of 88.12% (95% CI: 85.74–90.55) and a specificity of 77.11% (95% CI: 73.73–80.40). All diagnostic metrics met or exceeded the predefined acceptance criteria derived from the predicate device.

## 10. Conclusion
The manufacturer implemented a comprehensive risk management process in accordance with FDA-recognized standards, including ISO 14971, to identify and mitigate risks associated with CadAI-B Dx. Non-clinical bench testing and clinical performance data demonstrated that CadAI-B Dx performs substantially equivalently to the legally marketed predicate device, BU-CAD (K210670), without raising new questions of safety or effectiveness. Accordingly, CadAI-B Dx is determined to be substantially equivalent to the identified predicate device.

Two short videos show you everything — or skip straight to the written tutorial if you'd rather read. You can reopen this any time from the Tutorial button in the top bar.
Part 1 — Search, results, and everyday workflows 16 min
Part 2 — Embeddings: the galaxy map 3 min
1. Search: exact and fuzzy
Type a phrase like "coronary artery calcification" into the search box. You get two kinds of results. Exact results match the literal phrase — prefix searches work ("coronary artery calcificati") but suffix searches do not. Fuzzy results match on the meaning and intent of your phrase rather than the exact words, and are sorted by relevance score. Hover over the Exact or Fuzzy badge on any row to see exactly why it matched.
Use the checkboxes above the results to narrow: SaMD keeps only software-only devices, AI / ML keeps only devices with AI.
Exact vs. fuzzy search: what's the difference?
Exact matches on the literal phrase (prefix search works, suffix does not). Fuzzy matches on the meaning and intent of the phrase rather than the exact words. Hover over the badge on any row to see why it matched.
You search "coronary artery calcification" and want only software devices with AI. What two filters do you apply?
Narrow by SaMD (software-only devices), then narrow by AI/ML (devices with AI).
2. The results table
Scroll right in the results table. The intended use is extracted for you — no need to open the PDF. The device story gives a high-level snapshot of what the device does and how it's used. The AI Performance sub-table shows each output name, acceptance criteria, observed values, and development/test dataset descriptions — the same format Innolitics uses for regulatory strategy outputs, and the fastest high-level fingerprint of an AI device. It is AI-generated but has been very reliable in practice.
Where do you find a device's intended use without opening the PDF?
Scroll right in the search results table. The intended use column is extracted for you; no need to dig into the 510(k) summary PDF.
What does the AI Performance sub-table show, and why is it useful?
Output name, acceptance criteria, observed values, development dataset description, and test dataset description. It's the same format we use for regulatory strategy output and Fast 510(k) input, and the fastest high-level fingerprint of an AI device. AI-generated but reliable in practice.
3. Judging fuzzy relevance
Fuzzy results trail off in relevance as you scroll. Use three signals to decide how far down to go: the fuzzy badge explanations, the intended use column, and whether your target output (e.g., Cobb angle) still appears in the AI Performance sub-table. Once it stops appearing, you're past the relevant zone. A top hit with a low score (~0.4) and a stretched explanation is a hint the closest predicates are far away — the project may be headed for De Novo. Note the fuzzy search is a pattern match: it doesn't handle negation ("not") well, and hardware devices can appear — filter by SaMD/AI ML to cut them.
How do you judge how far down fuzzy search results to go?
Use the relevancy signals: the fuzzy badge explanations, the intended use column, and whether the target output (e.g., Cobb angle) still appears in the AI Performance sub-table. Once it stops appearing, results are trailing off in relevancy.
4. Device detail page: chat and citations
Click a device name to open its detail page: device facts on the left, a chat window on the right. Ask something like "Describe the training data". The answer carries little citation bubbles — click one to jump to the highlighted passage in the source PDF, so you can verify every AI answer against the document. There's also a Download PDF button for sharing.
How do you verify an AI chat answer on the device detail page?
Click the citation bubbles to jump to the relevant highlight in the source document.
Reading rule for every project: how many summaries do you read in full?
At least the three most relevant 510(k) or De Novo summaries, in full. After that, use targeted chat questions to confirm your memory quickly. The tool supports this professional habit — it doesn't replace it.
5. Side-by-side comparison
Select multiple rows in the results table (aim for under ~10), then open the PDF Viewer tab. Ask one question — it goes to all selected devices in parallel, each with citations. This is the fastest way to compare and contrast devices: training data, PCCP scope, how they handled adding new scanners, and so on.
What does the side-by-side PDF viewer mode do?
Select multiple devices, open the PDF viewer tab, and ask one question (e.g., "Describe the training data"). It queries all selected devices simultaneously with citations, so you can compare and contrast quickly.
6. Collections
With rows selected, go to the Collections tab and create a labeled collection (e.g., "Cobb Angle Project"). Reload that selection any time — before a client call, pull up the collection and ask questions across all of its devices at once.
How do you save a set of selected devices for later use?
Select the rows, go to the Collections tab, and create a labeled collection (e.g., "Cobb Angle Project"). You can reload the selection anytime and carry it into the PDF viewer and other tabs that support selections.
7. Product codes and the regulations tree
Click a product code in the results to jump to it in the regulations tree — identification text, sibling product codes, and devices you can open in a PDF viewer on the right. Click a regulation number to see its identification, special controls, and related product codes. You can also search by product code or regulation number at the top of the tree. Always read the special controls if any exist for your device — it broadens your search and sharpens pre-kickoff research.
What can you do from the regulations tree view?
Browse product codes and regulation numbers, read the identification text and special controls, browse sibling product codes, open device PDFs on the right, and search by product code or regulation number at the top of the tree.
8. Chart view
Click Show Chart and segment by regulation number (or product code) to see which regulations dominate your result set. Clicking a regulation takes you into the regulations tree. Great for spotting that most matches are, say, hardware laparoscopic devices — a cue to go back and filter.
How do you see which regulations dominate a search result set?
Click "Show Chart" and segment by Regulation Number. Clicking a regulation takes you to the regulations tree.
9. The predicate graph
Open the Predicates tab for a family-tree view of predicate relationships. Click a node to trace its parents and children; selections from search carry over pre-selected. Commonly predicated devices are worth reading — a lot of people predicated them for a reason. The visual lineage is also handy on client calls, e.g. to show how a predicate family evolved and justify why your predicate still holds.
In the predicate graph, why are commonly predicated devices worth reading?
A lot of people predicated them for a reason. Clicking a node traces parents and children, and selections from search carry over pre-selected.
10. Embeddings: the galaxy map
The Embeddings tab plots every matching document in a 2-D "galaxy map" where semantically similar devices cluster together. Hover or click clusters to explore, and let AI label the clusters for you. Embeddings beat product codes for grouping: two devices can carry different product codes (LLZ vs. QIH) yet do the same thing — the embedding captures the meaning of the intended use and device story. This is also exactly how retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) works under the hood, and it makes a great visual on client calls.
